Description of IQAir New Edition HealthPro and HealthPro Plus Air Purifiers

A king among princes, IQAir New Edition HealthPro air purifiers rule supreme as the top rated air purifier in the industry. While most HEPA air purifiers claim to be effective at capturing particles down to 0.3 microns, IQAir's revolutionary HyperHEPA filtration system is proven to capture particles 100 times smaller, down to 0.003 microns; the smallest particle that exists. These ultra-fine particles are actually the most harmful to your health and represent 90% of the air pollution we breathe. If you want proven protection against the smallest and most dangerous particles in the air, IQAir is the only choice. Made from the safest materials, using only healthy filtration technologies, IQAir air purifiers are the best investment in your health you can make. IQAir air purifiers add no ozone, ions, UV or chemicals into the air you breathe. IQAir is for those who know their health deserves only the very best.

Performance certification: each unit is individually tested and certified for performance efficiency before it leave the factory in Switzerland

Important Notice: 120V Model

This air cleaner is safety tested and approved for the voltage requirements in the U.S., Canada and Mexico only.

This air cleaner will be damaged if plugged into a 220-240V outlet.

The use of a transformer or adaptor will not prevent the risk of damage.

This product has no warranty coverage when used outside North America.

How it Works:

The IQAir HealthPro air purifiers take in air from the bottom of the unit. The air is passed through the PreMax pre-filter(1) where micro-particles such as pollen, pet dander and mold spores are captured. The air is then drawn through the fan into the V-5 Cell gas & odor filter (HealthPro Plus model only) where granular activated carbon(2) eliminates volatile organic compounds, and pelletized chemisorption(3) destroys harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, by an oxidation process inside the chemically active alumina pellets. As the last stage filtration, air passes through the nano-fibers of the HyperHEPA filter(4) removing ultra-fine particles such as bacteria, viruses and combustion particles. Clean, purified air is vented through the 320° EvenFlow™ diffuser at top of unit. The air outlet diffuser is designed to outflow low turbulence, low velocity air which creates less noise.

Care of:

IQAir air purifiers are equipped with an electronic Filter Life Monitor that calculates the remaining life of the system’s filter elements. Thanks to the filter life monitor, the user does not have to guess when filters need to be replaced or
replace them at fixed intervals (which rarely correspond to the actual amount of use). The filter life monitor watches over the most important factors affecting the life of the individual filter elements. The filter life monitor display shows the remaining life of each individual filter elements at any given time.

IQAir and AllergyBuyersClub recommend running your IQAir HealthPro air purifier for 10 hours a day on speed setting 3. Thanks to its superior performance and filtration, it does not need to be run 24 hours, 7 days a week. The average filter life for 10 hours of use per day on speed setting 3 is outlined below.

IQAir air purifiers can be set to run at six different fan speeds which correspond to six different air flow rates. The higher the fan speed, the more room air will be filtered by the
system. The high fan speed settings provide additional air cleaning power to deal with situations of elevated pollution levels. To allow better evaluation of the system’s performance at different fan speeds, the standard display window shows fan speed and the air delivery rate (air flow).

For general air cleaning purposes, the IQAir system should be able to filter the room air volume at least twice every hour on the set fan speed to achieve a significant air quality improvement. If the intensity of the pollution source is high or a high degree of purification is needed, more air changes may become necessary.

Under normal conditions, IQAir and AllergyBuyersClub recommend running your IQAir HealthPro air purifier for 10 hours a day on speed setting 3 in a room around 500 sq. ft. with an 8 ft ceiling. Thanks to its superior performance and filtration ability, it does not need to be ran 24 hours, 7 day a week to sufficiency clean the air in a room.

Using the daily & weekly programmable timer functions will help operate your IQAir air purifier at maximum efficiency, in accordance with your lifestyle. The programmable timer allows you to select a start time, end time and speed setting for the air purifier to operate at each day, Monday through Sunday.

Craftsmanship of:

Engineered and built at the Hammes family factory in Switzerland, each IQAir air purifier is an example of Swiss precision engineering, superior craftsmanship, and continuous research and development. The Swiss IQAir production facility only uses the finest components, and great attention to detail is given to each IQAir system built (much like a fine Swiss watch). Swiss quality assurance provides you with the very best air cleaner you'll ever own.

The IQAIR Healthpro & Healthpro Plus are the ultimate air purifiers for persons with health issues of a magnitude requiring absolute clean air. Although they are rather pricey, if you prefer to buy top quality and get what you pay for you will not be disappointed. We are very impressed IQAir provides actual, not theoretical, claims for each and every air cleaner they produce. This quality control assures that the IQAIR Air Purifier you purchase has been tested for performance before you receive it.

Pluses:

Robust Pre-filter: a high efficiency, high-capacity, tightly pleated filter pack that holds back over 90% of all dust mass and prolongs the life and performance of the V5 cell gas filter and the hyper HEPA filter by a factor of 10

Superior hyper HEPA filter: has a micro particle retention rate up to 100 times higher than regular HEPA filters with a surface area larger than most of the air cleaners on the market

High performance V5 cell gas & odor filter: a V-shaped compact filter filled with granular wide spectrum gas & odor control media which remove the gaseous contaminants both by physical adsorption and chemical breakdown while a maximum level of airflow is maintained (available with the Healthpro Plus. Healthpro can be upgrade to a Plus with the addition of this filter)

Maximum room coverage of up to 1238 sq. ft.: for the Healthpro and 1125 sq. ft. for the Healthpro Plus when running on highest speed. When run on the medium speeds they will cover a room up to 600 sq. ft.

Good for bedroom use with lower than average noise level: on the first two fan speeds, on the third speed it is a pleasant quiet background hum, speed 4 is a bit noisy but some users will tolerate it, and like all HEPA air purifiers, it is fairly noisy on speed 5 and 6. These high speeds are best suited for quick cleaning of a room or for use when you are not at home.

Filter life and replacement costs: the IQAir's design allows filters to be replaced individually and on different schedules, which off-set the cost of having to replace all 3 at the same time. Average annual filter replacement costs are approximately $128.17 for the Healthpro and $202.34 for the Healthpro Plus. (Dollar values bases on 10 hr daily usage on speed setting 3.)

Advanced controls and remote: one of the big pluses of the IQAIR Healthpro and the Healthpro Plus is its control options. While we did not see the need for the remote control, we were impressed with the ability to set the machine to go on and off at certain pre-designated times and fan speeds. The four key touch pad displays the programming timer status, filter life and status, and fan speed.

Easy to change filters: all the filters stack up modular fashion and can be changed with no tools necessary- a huge plus

Constructed of non-off gassing: ABS materials that are UV stabilized and high impact resistant

3-D Ultra-seal design: a three-dimensional seal between the filter element and the housing of the air cleaner that does not allow any air to by-pass the filters so all the air is cleaned

Filter change indicator light provided for each of the 3 filters and it displays green until 20% of the filter life remains, orange when 20% remains, red when 10% remains, and flashing red when none remains which is when you should replace it, although you should order your replacement when it indicates orange or red.

Has been in business since the 1960’s: selling air purifying products in hospitals and industrial clean-rooms

Certified performance: each IQAIR air purifier is measured at the factory and certified by the quality control engineer who tested it. Included in each box is a certificate of performance in air delivery, filter leakage, and particle filtration efficiency.

IQAIR will cover the Healthpro for a full 5 years: against defect in parts and labor since they consist of the highest quality components and are assembled in Switzerland with great care, pride, and attention to detail.

Quality of Filters: IQAIR designs and manufactures all of their filters so you can be assured of the quality which includes the completion of the tight seal to the housing to eliminate bypassing to attain 100% filtration

Value for the price: although the IQAir air purifiers cost more than many air purifiers on the market, what IQAIR provides in the way of quality, design, and filtration performance strongly outweighs its higher price tag.

Minuses:

If quiet is the paramount feature you are looking for above all else, the Healthpro and Healthpro Plus are not our quietest air purifier, although they are far from the noisiest especially when run on the lower fan speeds.

It would be nice if they had an automatic setting including dust & odor sensors to regulate the fan speed.

The IQAir Healthpro model does not come standard with any gas filtration. If you want gas filtration choose the IQAir Healthpro Plus model.

Summary:

We cannot say enough about the Healthpro and Healthpro Plus air purifiers and they remain our number 1 choice for a room air purifier. The IQAir air purifiers are the only air purifiers proven to capture ultra-fine particles, 0.1 microns and smaller, which are the most harmful to our health and make up over 90% of the particles in the air. Even when tested at the smallest measurable particle size of 0.003 microns, the IQAir Healthpro and Healthpro Plus had a 99.5% efficiency, which is simply amazing. If you want the best air purifier available today, then the Healthpro or Healthpro Plus is your best choice. Choose the IQAir Healthpro Plus if you want excellent gas filtration as well as top-notch ultra-fine particle filtration. If you own birds, hairy pets or live in an extremely dusty environment, we suggest adding the optional PF40 Coarse Dust Pre-Filtration Kit to capture the large particles and let the other filters capture the medium, small and ultra-fine particles for optimal performance.
